What's more, I'm not the only one who's a member of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod. But I've not been there long enough to know how others approach certain stories.<BR/><BR/>I think it does affect how I approach certain stories, though. The gatekeeping function of my job can be very intoxicating. There are times that I don't want to report on a certain story because of its subject matter, and I really have to think about that. <BR/><BR/>One thing I do, though, is to vary my newscasts. Since I have one every hour, I don't use the same stories every time. If there's a story I find objectionable, I might use it in every third newscast instead of every other one.<BR/><BR/>The funny thing is, I've been a journalist for seven years, and I've never had the power to decide what gets reported until now. Like I said, it's intoxicating. Not sure if that's good or bad right now.Mommy's Resource Closethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14512274839436510615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7348170.post-1146916805019165532006-05-06T07:00:00.000-05:002006-05-06T07:00:00.000-05:00I agree.

Are there stories that you approach differently than your colleagues because of your faith?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7348170.post-1146674095987048152006-05-03T11:34:00.000-05:002006-05-03T11:34:00.000-05:00You have the coolest job ever. ;)You have the coolest job ever. ;)Devonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17768505492952325016noreply@blogger.com
